Tomb of the Gods (4)
The Spirit of Ymir.
Sirone and his party, who arrived at the 5th deep level, were unable to go deeper for 7 days.
“I’m going crazy.”
Arius became anxious.
As expected, deep level 5 was a fairly rational environment, but the problem was that there was no discrimination.
“Hello, Sirone.” A villager who looked like he had placed a white egg on a wooden doll bowed his head.
And in another place, someone who looked exactly like the resident from before greeted me.
“Hello, Sirone.”
Sirone just walked by without responding.
‘I don’t know who it is.’
The residents had no name, age, or gender, and the scenery around them was the same.
It was a world where the simplest structures, such as circles, triangles, and squares, were arranged in a haphazard manner.
“I feel bad.” Miro couldn’t bear it anymore and frowned.
The people and scenery they see now must be the way Ymir sees the world.
“Anyway, does it make sense that all residents are the same? “At least there must have been someone who left an impression, right?”
Sein said.
“Looking at it now, it doesn’t seem to be there. I don’t even care about the background. “Is the world we live in so intensely simple for Ymir?”
“It was said to be the tomb of the gods.” Sirone said.
“At least they say Ymir acknowledged it. So, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t a single person that leaves an impression. “At least there has to be Ryan.”
Miro grabbed a passing resident and shouted.
“hey! “Where is Ymir?”
In the mental world, using one’s name as a keyword is taboo, but Jumin didn’t care.
“Hello, Sirone…!”
Miro’s fist went straight into Jumin’s face.
Sein sighed, but it was only a mental body anyway, and honestly, he felt bad about being deceived.
When Miro withdrew his fist, Jumin stumbled and fell down like a doll whose strings were cut.
“You know what’s really annoying? “We’ve met this guy we just destroyed 3,000 times.”
In fact, it is a problem that no one can prove, but Miro’s words made sense.
“Let’s get rid of them all. “Once we reduce the number, the probability of meeting new residents increases.”
Sirone said.
“You’ve already finished one city, Mr. Gaold.”
They had tried everything they could in the deep 5th level world.
Arius said.
“The key here is that no villager responds to keywords about Ymir. “Maybe this is a world ruled by something other than Le.”
“You used the names of all the gods Ymir has fought so far, right? As Sirone’s Omega. I even used Shirone, the world’s most popular phrase, ‘Hello, Mr. Shirone.’”
Arius’ steps suddenly stopped.
“Hello, Sirone?” Miro opened his eyes wide.
“Do you want to get hit?”
“No, this is something to think about. Why do the residents of this world greet Mr. Shirone? “You don’t even react to Mr. Gaold, who pierced your nightmare.”
Sirone said.
“I said it might be related to the Ultima System. But even though I tried various things, it was in vain.”
“Of course it is. What I want to tell you is that although it is structured like consciousness, it is truly unconscious. Like on the surface, it wasn’t about finding a specific keyword and activating it. “That is defeat.”
Miro said.
“In the end, you were mistaken?”
“I admit failure, but the term ‘misunderstanding’ is a word that hurts an expert. You can’t mistake what you don’t know. “This is my first time experiencing this kind of depth.”
“okay. “Keep talking.”
“If this were the surface layer, the reason why the residents lack individuality could be interpreted as Ymir’s view of the world. But many things overlap in the unconscious.”
“aha.”
Arius spread his arms.
“In the end, it’s everything. “All of them, this world itself, are keywords.”
I understood.
“But does knowing that make any difference? “In the end, if you try everything, it’s still the same.”
“Maybe…
Arius paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
“I guess there’s something we haven’t tried.”
Sirone asked.
“what is that?”
“Backward integration.”
Arius raised his index finger.
“The inhabitants are from Ymir’s perspective, but they are also from Gaia’s perspective. The unity spoken of in nightmares. In other words, these are the simplest diagrams of the Ultima System that Ymir thinks of. And Sirone couldn’t break it.”
U U 99
Sirone, who was watching the busy residents on every street, obediently acknowledged.
“I can’t do it alone.”
“is it so. That’s why there was no response. But what if Mr. Sirone is incorporated into them?”
Blending in with those just wandering the streets, unable to find meaning or purpose.
Sirone, who has trained his mind skills to the limit, can move in a state of indifference.
“maybe. “The residents here are integrated, but in reality, they are just heartless shells.”
Only the concept of integration remained.
“all right.”
As Sirone immediately erased his mind, Sein next to him felt an eerie feeling.
‘Complete indifference. ‘The current Sirone exists only through the functioning of the mind and body.’
Sirone said.
“Then let me begin.”
Although the words were clearly spoken, the tone was lacking in emotion, like a machine.
As he walked to where the residents were, they bowed their heads and greeted Sirone.
“Hello, Sirone.”
Sirone, who had been listening to their words indifferently, opened his mouth quietly at some point.
“Hello, Sirone.”
All the world’s inhabitants stood still.
Shirone and the others watched anxiously as the world was caught in complete silence, as if time had stopped.
Arius said.
“Ymir’s subconscious reacted. Something here…
At that moment, the golden radiance emitted from the residents’ bodies soared toward the sky.
“idea?”
It was a gigantic hexa created by the 10 billion Guy Ains that make up Ymir.
A great voice was heard from the sky.
-You who do not belong to us, we deny your existence. Get out of this world.
If it had been real, the world would have been shaking, but the only ones suffering here were Sirone and his group.
“Ugh!”
-denial! denial! denial!
As the entire world surged, creating waves, the bodies of Shirone and the others were pushed endlessly.
Although he quickly regained consciousness, he had already been pushed back several kilometers and Miro deployed the Avatar Art.
‘Thousand-water customs note.’
The incarnation of Cheonsu-gwan’s three eums, which had become gigantic without knowing any limits, struck their palms together, and
a tremendous sound of explosions erupted, but it could not block the power that defines the entire world.
“Shirone! Break Ultima!”
Sirone reacted mechanically and regained his composure from being mixed in with the residents.
‘I deny the denial.’
In an instant, the Ultima system was split into two, and the explosive power generated from there was…
The world was on the verge of being devastated. As the landscape radiated like thorns, all structures crumbled to dust and residents
screamed.
“Keeeeee! “Keeeeee!”
It was so scary that my spine tingled as the figures, located between a human and a dummy, clutched their heads in pain.
“I’m awake! “What do I do now?”
Before we knew it, Sirone had caught up with Miro and his party, but the place was also saturated with residents.
“Fight!”
Arius, the weakest, was placed in the center, and the others formed a defensive line around him.
And countless residents began to rush towards them.
“scram! get out!”
The villager rushed forward with his white face raised and raised his crude spherical fist.
‘How strong is it?’
Because it was the spirit of Ymir, it must have had as much power as he felt for the Gaians.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The figure of Gaold, who successfully blocked the villager’s blow, was scattered by the shock wave.
“Gaold!”
Just as Kang Nan was about to approach, a Gaold holding the sphere’s fist appeared.
“are you okay. “This is enough to endure.”
“Tomb of the Gods.”
Arius said.
“This world is just a shell of Ultima. In the end, in Ymir’s mind, there is no being stronger than Ymir.”
From then on it was a continuous battle.
The air press pressed down and the Hand of God struck the residents with the back of his hand.
‘There are too many. ‘This will never end.’
Ruber, who did not take action even when fatigue appeared on the faces of the group, spoke.
“I will do it.” As he flew into the sky and spread his arms left and right, a ring of light was created in front of both palms.
“Dream Machine.”
Although there is a condition that it must be in the mental world, the dreamer can transform all dreams into objects.
However, the further away you are from the REM area, the lower the level of objects that can be summoned.
‘It is possible with deep level 5.’
The object summoned by Louver at the level just below the REM area was a small wooden box.
“〈Zhuangzi’s Butterfly〉.”
Although it had an unsightly appearance, it was a dangerous item that could not even be rated if it were extracted in reality.
“Wake up from your dream.”
When the box was opened, all Gaians living in this world began to be released into particles of light.
“What is it?”
‘Zhuangzi’s Butterfly’ is one of the three dreams treated specially by Drimo’s government office.
A kind of enlightenment.
If it comes out in reality, the effect will be ‘instantaneous departure from the photon field.’
“Ugh!”
When Drimo was shaken by the shock of the summoning, the aftermath hit Ruber, the incarnation.
Still, he did not close the box.
‘It’s still not enough. little bit more!’
What “Zhuangzi’s Butterfly” actually attacks is Ymir’s spirit, not the residents.
However, even if it was unconscious, it was a deep level 5 level, so it was impossible to cause a huge shock.
“Mr. Luber! “It’s dangerous any more!”
Sirone shouted, but Ruber just held on with the box open, as if he had already made up his mind.
“Shirone! excuse me!”
As the maze pointed to the sky, everyone turned around.
The excited particles of light moved around dizzyingly and began to gather into a single dot in the sky.
A huge voice was heard.
-deny.
At that time, when everyone was crouching down and covering their ears, Louver crashed down screaming loudly.
“Aaaah!”
The box closed on its own, ignoring the force of the grip, and a pillar of light struck the ground like an awl.
Couuuuuuuuuuck!
Shirone looked ahead as he felt vibrations for the first time since entering deep level 5.
“uh?”
Standing there was McClain Guffin, with hair like steel and a fierce look like a beast.
“Guffin?”???
As Shirone muttered, the group turned around.
“what?”
“It’s McClain Guffin.”
Miro looked at Guffin’s face.
I don’t remember, but I found myself racing at a scary rate.
‘Does the heart remember?’
“Concentrate.”
Gaold interrupted.
“It’s moving.”
As the Guffin slowly approached, the Miracle Stream bloomed and rose into the sky.
“Hand of God.”
A gigantic hand, on a different level from what Sirone was unfolding, was taking control of the entire sky.
